Alone in 1st

Hey, I'll take alone in first even if it is for just a little while.

I'm impressed with the starting pitching so far, but I think they need to bring up a prospect for the bullpen and let Cris Hammond go down to the minors for awhile and get his stuff back.

Harang gets a 7 inning shutout and the only rbi in the game, way to go.

This is how it always is (at the beginning of the season), so I'm expecting the starting pitching to struggle, and since the bullpen can't really do any worse....

However, I am very impressed by the starting pitching, because it is phenomenal. I expect the Reds to finish 4th, or maybe even 3rd, if they can make the bullpen stronger somehow.

P.S. Last night's game was amazing all the way around. Harang was awesome, Jerry Narron made all the right moves, Todd Coffey pitched like Eric Gagne, and David Weathers was sweet, and the Reds Defense didn't blow it either! Go Reds!

If the starters don't pitch at least to the sixth inning and do it reasonably well, this team has no chance. The bullpen is absolutely terrible, only 1 pitcher is performing down there and that is Todd Coffey. Can they not run out Weathers any more to close games, let the young guy do it, see what you have.

Sorry boys, but Narron is sealing his fate, he is already not Castellini's guy, and with the Lou wants to get back into coaching next year, anything short of a playoff run mean Narron won't be back next year.

There might be a chance we make a move for another bullpen guy before the trade deadline. That'd be a huge boost.

Anyone that watched the game on FSN last night, did you see the inning where they had Castellini in there with George and Chris? He sounds like an owner that really cares what happens with this baseball team.

I think his actions have already proven that he really cares what happens to the team. Aquiring Bronson Arroyo for power hitting and then dumping Dave Williams because he can't find the strike zone tells me he is concerned about getting a team that can win now! If the pitching holds up in August and September, they just may make the playoffs for the first time in so long I can't remember. GO CINCY!!!!
